After the initial shock of seeing Kursz wears off, Muku quickly rises to the omelet buffet and quickly starts scooping eggs into a plate for him. Did Kursz like eggs? Well. He better like eggs. Now he has eggs. That or the Natu had eggs. Why was the Natu still here?!
She ignores that question. Kursz was here and Kursz was beeping. That was more important. Throwing the eggs in front of him, Muku quickly sits down to interrogate the poor man. "Ok so. You're safe. That's good. And you have a boat. I'll remember the boat. We're going to be leaving eventually. Have you seen Thel? Is Thel ok? Have you been eating? Have you met this bird? This bird has just sort of been here, but I feel like this bird is your kind of bird because it doesn't beep as much as I do, but you may want to talk to it's mom first, though just to warn you I do not like it's mom. Not because it's bad, but because I think she's bad. Whale didn't lift me though, boat did that. Whale lifted Terra, and Terra is currently eating with Chuck and Miranda. We're going caving, me and Terra, not Chuck, Miranda, Terra and I."

"The pink haired girl with the cow ball went missing for a couple days. Her Mom who also had pink hair said they were going to Olivine but I didn't see Thel there. Saw Omega there, Omega is fine. Always angry but fine. Been eating a lot, the underground people call it bulking up. You eat lots of stuff like eggs, cause they have the stuff that gives you muscles. I like being big a lot. That bird is very green, I don't really like birds that much except for Muku. Birds used to try to eat me.". Kursz tucked into his eggs with gusto, giving Muku a moment of silence to digest everything.

The information seemed to put Terra at a comfortable ease, since she gave an understanding nod. "That's good." Taking in the sight and smells of breakfast, there was a slow breath let out from the pleasant smell. Experimenting with the bottle of light brown substance, she was surprised at the taste and used a fair amount to add flavor to the food.
"Thank you for breakfast, I'll be heading out after to meet up with her," Terra told Miranda with a calm expression. She was pleased with the food choice. "And we'll probably head out for a trip," she adds in a thoughtful tone.

Silence implies nothing to Muku for she knew nothing of silence. She allowed herself a few bites while listening to Kursz, but as soon as that fork was lowered, her mouth was open. "Green is good until it isn't, yes. This is a light green, which is just about as ok as regular green and regular green is O.K. I think you'd like this bird, it's beak is too small to go snip, snip and it seems modestly friendly, if not a bit clingy. And, and, I think if I remember correctly, I did try to eat you, and I got shocked. So couldn't even though you looked tasty. It was a stressful time for me and I'm ok with that memory being fuzzy. Pink cow girl is Whitney, which is weird because cows aren't a word that I know and I don't know what you're talking about."
"Omega is... Well, I'm glad that they're doing ok. When he ran off, I felt sad, so I'm glad that he's at least eating. He doesn't need to fly, so he can bulk up as wants. I just like to eat eggs because eggs are full of nutrients and as long as I'm not questioning who is laying the eggs, I can deal with it. Thel is... Well, I always worry about Thel, but that's because he's bony and panics easily around women."
Her hand reaches up to her upper chest quietly as she looks askance to her water. "Hope he's doing alright too. I know we didn't really... Always get along. Lot of people don't get along with me lately."

"Just stay safe for us, alright?". Miranda asked in a warm tone and put her arms around Terra as though to grapple her, and squished the girl gently.
"Remember your promise, no Team Aqua until you have proven you are a match for Gunshow.". Chuck added as Miranda released Terra from the hold.
"I guess it is kind of a nice green.". Kursz agreed, a little more curious about the small bird with its equally small beak. It definitely didn't look very scary. Not like the all consuming pelicans from home that would swallow you whole if you made eye contact and didn't run. A big hand reached out and stroked the errant feather atop the Natu. "I am sure Thel is fine. He gravitates to strong females and they will protect his small boneyness. Or he can run and hide like tiny things do. Kursz is glad to see Muku. She should talk more."

"No... I don't, no, really don't think I should." Muku says with a sudden hardness in her voice. "I like to talk. Talking is great. But talking also causes me a lot of problems lately. I don't have manners. Without manners, I say something that I shouldn't or maybe that I should. At any rate, they hear it. Then they look askance or funny because, ooh, look what the weird bird person said or something. That or they look like they feel bad. And I hate that. I don't like it when people look like they feel bad because I can't keep my trap shut for a flying minute about something stupid or something that I don't understand, or any number of things that they aren't making sense on and I just want to scream and kick, and kick and scream until something is bleeding. Either me, or 'it'. Whatever 'it' is..."
Her fingers reach up to rub the temples of her forehead. "I'm just so... I don't know. I'm thinking too much. Thinking is bad and I can't just magically turn it off like I want to. So I'm just gonna ignore them. Thoughts. Terra's probably going to be here soon and we're going to go do the thing and that's going to make everything alright. Everything will be alright. Everything is alright."

At first the grapple made Terra tense up in surprise, however she restrained herself to attacking. Seeing where it went, she relaxed a little bit before looking to Chuck at his reminder.
"We will try, as long as they leave us alone," Terra cannot promise him more than that. Things involving travel and the sea didn't seem like a very stable place to hold such a commitment. "But hopefully we will be back soon."
A nod and thanks again for the breakfast and Terra was out the door with a wave with her things ready to meet with Muku and start this new adventure.

Terra is greeted by the site of Kursz and Muku talking over breakfast as she arrived in the center.
"It sounds like Muku has been sitting still for too long and needs to go scavenge new places. Steal people's food, or clothes, or shiny things for her nest. When too many things bother a wimpod in its hide, you eat what you can't carry and carry what you can't eat and you go somewhere else. Preferably with a beach. Kursz will boat her places so she can let the thinking out."

Muku hastily nods as she shoves muffin after muffin into her bag. "Yep. Nope. Not letting the thinking out. Thinking can stay in the ol' bad box. The box where bad things go. But! But! I do think I've been sitting too long. I don't think I'll take shiny things, I'm not a black bird, but I will go beat things up and if they DO have shiny things, then maybe I'll bring it back."
As if to announce the finality of that thought, she hastily *zips* her bag closed and hoists it over her shoulder. "Terra! Yo! Are you ready to go? I am very much ready to go."

Ah, large person with Muku! However Muku seems not in danger, so must have been a friend. As she approached she came to the conclusion that this was Kursz, guessing from what she heard and all.
Terra grabbed a muffin as well, for later of course, nodding at the question. "Yes, figured I'd meet you here, since Miranda told me," she replied before following it up with "Did you find a way to go check out the Thing?"

"No, but yes. I think if Queen can find it, Queen can find it." Her eyes dart over towards the nurse at the desk. She was turning her head, slowly. Suspiciously. She knew about the muffins.
They always knew about the muffins.
Muku quickly stuffs one more into her mouth and points eagerly at the door before powerwalking towards her shoes. Less talk, more running!

Kursz pauses to chat up Joy for a moment, talking about how he lifts, and pocketing the final coveted muffin as he turns away from the desk as the girls get their shoes on. "Hey!". Joy snapped. "RUN FOR IT!". Kursz screams and bolts past both girls, kicking up plumes of sand behind himself as he banks towards the docks where they had caught the siren fish. Joy rose and rolled her shoulders, looking greatly displeased.

"Kiyiyiyiyaaaaah!!!"
Muku cries, a pair of muffins spilling from her bag like oh so much ill-gotten gains. This morning they ate like normal, civilized beings. This day, they would eat like depraved gremlins who just tasted sugar for the first time in their lives.
She of course, runs.

Something was missed by Terra, not realizing her fellow companions were turning into muffin thieves. She hadn't acted suspicious, as she had no reason to. Until she heard the word 'run' in which she did so. If Muku was running she had to too!
Out the doors she sprinted, glancing towards the former bird and then to Kursz. "What did you do?!" she stated with a firm look with confusion in her eyes.

"IF YOU DONT KNOW WHERE YOUR NEXT MEAL IS COMING FROM, ALWAYS HAVE BACKUP FOOD!". Kursz yelled back to Terra. Joy was in hot pursuit and gaining, toned body knife strafing the beach. "THE SIGN WAS ONE MUFFIN EACH, RUNNING IS JUST GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE!"
Joy uses Agility, gaining +1 Overland.
[Escape from Cianwood; if Joy reaches +3 Overland and manages a run action without being hindered, she will overtake the party and the day will be lost to muffin related punishments. Kursz's escape boat is 8 Turns away.]

Muku huffs and puffs, the delights of thoughtless and inept thievery delivering that .sweet, sweet adrenaline she craved. Bashing Kursz in the side, she yells back, "Don't you panic! I've got eyes! Special eyes! Just keep running!" Breaking off from the group, Muku tumbles into a series of practiced, if not wholly unnecessary gymnastic flips as she hurls herself into the sky. She couldn't win in a land race. But in a sky race? Muku was supreme! Her eyes close for a serene moment as the sky kisses her cheek. Good sky. Terrible sky. She opens them just in time to bound one last time and hurl herself over some children, before taking a running start and bounding onto the roof of their house. She cheekily takes a bite of muffin as she taunts the nurse below. "Hwah! I'd like to see you match THAT!"Muku uses SUPERIOR ACROBATICS to splash skyward and make her way onto a nearby rooftop.
...Did roll kinda bad with a 15.

This was bad, and annoying! She did take one! Why is she being chased?! Because of Muku and Kursz? Troublesome!
"I did take one!" she calls back, eyes darting around in thought frantically. What can she do? Think, think! Using big attacks might be bad. Probably. Would mean Chuck and Miranda would have things to say when they return.
Trash can? Trash can could work as deterrent? Maybe, worth a shot. Sprinting towards the side she grabs the edge and gives a determined yank in the direction behind herself.

Joy terrifyingly has never skipped an arm day in her life and vaults half into a roof and hauls herself up the rest of the way. "GIVE ME THOSE MUFFINS MUKU!". (Next round; Agility. Terra needs to make a social roll to push through crowds, Muku requires an athletics and acrobatics.)

"Clear the way! Or I WILL run you over!" Terra demanded in a loud threat ahead of her. She was not slowing down and her arms shifted ready to shove folks out of her path. Strong looking folks are not a rarity here, however having one charge down the main path towards the shore might be a surprising change of usual lifestyle happenings. Red eyes giving frightening intense looks of warning as she approached. Will the people of Cianwood take her threat and movements seriously? And will they move out of her way in time?

Muku perches unsteadily on the roof, staring at the nurse who had so kindly jumped up to join her. "Gee nurse, you certainly can jump real high. But can you get down?"Finishing her taunt, Muku gives the nurse her most delinquent look, the eyes of someone who will steal muffins and do it again if she has to, the eyes of someone whose lust for muffins outweighs her sense of survival. It's a mean look, the kind that says, 'gee, I appreciate all that you do for the betterment of every person and Pokémon Cianwood, but yes I'm going to throw all that away for a few measly muffins'. A complex look, by which it means that Muku pulls down her eyelid and sticks her tongue out at the nurse. No matter the species, no matter the man, it is effective. Twittering noisily, she slips up over the other side of the building and keeps moving; always moving. Can't make it easy on her, now can she? 18 on Athletics 17 on Acrobatics
Muku uses Mean Look! No AC suprisingly... I guess it just happens? Nurse Joy is Slowed and Trapped, much like your average raccoon on a bender.
